| Occasionally, Group A Streptococcus can cause necrotizing fasciitis or streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. |
| Acute rheumatic fever and poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis are the nonsuppurative complications of streptococcal pharyngitis. |
| In California a three-person outbreak of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome occurred in patients in a hospital. |
| Nevertheless, recently it has been used with some success to treat recurrent otitis media and prevent recurrences of streptococcal tonsillitis. |
| As in streptococcal pharyngitis, acute rheumatic fever and poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis most often occur in children. |
| For the serodiagnosis of group A streptococcal infections and their late sequelae, a battery of tests have been suggested. |
